Requirements
The following requirements summarise what the ScrewRap hopes to achieve:
- Minimal tools. I want assembly to be as easy as possible. The tools I'm thinking of are allen keys, screwdrivers and maybe a drill. This list may increase as time goes on, but not by much.
- Cheap. Even though I'm using leadscrews, I still want the rest of the printer to be as cheap as possible.
- Accurate. To achieve this the design requires a sturdy frame and precise linear motion components.
- Easy to source. I want to avoid custom made parts as much as possible, and use standard parts such as T-Slot, Stepper motors, Bearings etc. Where speialised components are required they will be 3D printed. The leadscrews may be slightly more difficult in sourcing than the rest.
